The new "List all tabs" button redesign is off-putting for many users. An option to hide or disable it with a preference would be really helpful. It can't even be hidden with "Customize Toolbar" which seems like an oversight.

Users deserve a little agency in how the browser should look and feel.

Wow. I can't believe that Firefox is currently undergoing the same en**bleep**tification process as every company, but here I am, against my will.

Seriously, what is with every company's obsession of adding floating, ugly buttons that you can't remove? Does Firefox feel like they haven't added a new feature in a while so they need to jam something down the users throats so that they can say "Look, look! We're doing something!"?

Let me remove this. 

As far as I can tell, right clicking won't let me remove it, nor will customizing the menu bar and dragging it off into oblivion. Astounding that a feature like this is forced, and such an eyesore.

I don't open a thousand tabs at a time, and I know what I open, and where. I don't need this, and I'm sure many others don't. Give us back actual options, Mozilla. Stop forcing these weird, terrible UI changes.

Changing this word to "True" is all we are asking.

This does not seem to have any effect, even after restarting the browser.

Appreciate your attempt to help, though

To get rid of it NOW you need at add:—

 

/* Get rid of Show All Tabs icon */
.tabs-alltabs-button {display: none !important;}

 

 

to your userChrome.css file.  The about:config method worked on versions up to and including 130 but doesn't on 131.

Adding the preference browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled, is useless
Behind a preference there is a script, no corresponding script, so the preference doesn't work

Hello

Did you also try

#alltabs-button {display:none!important;}

If I don't want to hide this new icon, how do I proceed to get back the old arrow icon?
What do I need to write in css file in this case?

Try

#alltabs-button { list-style-image: url("chrome://global/skin/icons/arrow-down-12.svg") !important; }

Greetings to all on the Mozilla team! I have been using this browser since 2003, it's always my go to browser for all my computer builds....on to the question.  is there a way to remove the list all tabs icon in toolbar? it's a nice feature to have but i like to keep my browser less cluttered and minimal as possible. just the basics... bookmarks,home page, back&forward, refresh and open new tab +.... i might have missed the setting to remove it somewhere but don't see it? i don't mind new features being added but please allow us to add and remove all features in the toolbar.

again minor nitpick, still love the product and appreciate all the efforts you guys still put into this project.

thank you,

This is unbelievable how much more uglier and confusing the new tab icon looks like! The old one was smaller and very clear that this is a dropdown, new one is a f..king ugly mystery!  Honestly, this is the reason I'm thinking of ditching Firefox for good. WHY? For f..cks sake WHY? Why break what was perfectly fine! No wonder Firefox share is dropping, it'll drop even faster with such "wise" decisions.

It certainly seems unpopular.  I've told at least four people how to get rid of it on the support forum today and other people have answered the same question too.  These are only the people who've found the support forum and bothered to ask there.  How many others there are who will put up with it in a state of dissatisfaction or change browsers is un-known.

A lot of us never have more than a handful of tabs open at once (I've got two as I write this) so it's useless, and ugly, clutter to us.  At least the old arrow was more discrete.

Come on, Mozilla, change ONE WORD in the code to make it removable and make some of us happy and not effect the others who can leave it alone.

It's just another button that makes pressing everything else harder and clutters an already small area further, there really is no good design behind this thing that can't easily be done better and be customizable. It serves no one and begs attention when I have absolutely no use for it, as though it's somehow nothing but essential when it's closer to having too many dangling objects on your rearview mirror.
